Warning
Installation and maintenance of the boiler must be carried out by a
qualified installer in accordance with local and national regula­
tions.
Warning
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the original
manufacturer, the manufacturer's dealer or another suitably skilled
person to prevent hazardous situations from arising.
Warning
Always disconnect the mains supply and close the main gas tap
when working on the boiler.
Caution
Make sure the boiler can be reached at all times.
The boiler must be installed in a frost-free area.
In the case of a fixed connection to the power cord, you must al­
ways install a main bipolar switch with an opening gap of at
least 3 mm (EN 60335-1).
Drain the boiler and central heating system if you are not going
to use your home for a long time and there is a chance of frost.
The frost protection does not work if the boiler is out of opera­
tion.
The boiler protection only protects the boiler, not the system.
Check the water pressure in the system regularly. If the water
pressure is lower than 0.8 bar, the system must be topped up
(recommended water pressure between 1 and 2 bar).
Note
Keep this document near to the boiler.
Note
Casing panels may only be removed for maintenance and servic­
ing purposes. Refit all panels when maintenance work and servic­
ing are complete.
Note
Instruction and warning labels must never be removed or covered
and must be clearly legible throughout the entire service life of the
boiler. Replace damaged or illegible instruction and warning labels
immediately.
Note
The boiler must not be modified in any way.

1.4.1 Handling

General
The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the
boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.
Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the
back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly should­
ers, arms and hands. Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERY­
ONE.
There is no "safe" limit for one man - each person has different capabili­
ties. The boiler should be handled and lifted by TWO PEOPLE.
Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.
Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves,
safety footwear etc.
